I plan to drive down and back on Saturday. I hope to see a great ROCC contingent down there.
Any TAP officials going down? I want to try my L2.

Anyone have contact info for someone in SC (Ed Fenton perhaps)? Email to prefect@tripolisc.org dies with a storage error on their mail server side. I'm going down on Friday, leaving Raleigh late morning, so I was going to offer to help them setup on Friday evening... but can't find a good way to ask if that's of any value.
Pls email contact info directly to me: scott at sschnege dot org -- I may not check the forum here again before Friday.
ROCC Rocks!!! For SciPower we had a great showing at SciPower 2011. I believe I counted at least eight ROCCers there on Saturday. More may have come in after I left. Great time had by all.
I had five great launches Saturday burning a total of 1661 newtons. The last was my X-Celerator code named Tiger Paws for a successful L2 launch and recovery.
See you all again in August and again for Freedom Launch in September.
